专业概况

在这里学什么？

This Integrated Undergraduate/Graduate program (IUG) provides an opportunity for academically strong students to complete a bachelor of science degree in sociology and a master’s degree in public policy in the course of approximately five years of study. The public policy curriculum and sociology curriculum cover require similar technical and analytic skills and provide complementary substantive knowledge – criminal justice is an important area of policy making from a public policy standpoint and it is critical to understand the policy process to understand the structure and impacts of criminal justice policies.

Students in the MPP are required to complete an elective specialization of four courses. Students in the Sociology-MPP IUG will take four courses in their fourth year of study that will double count for both the sociology BS and MPP.

PLAN OF STUDY

Prior to admission to the program, and in consultation with their sociology and public policy advisers, students must prepare a detailed plan of study for years 4 and 5 of the program. The plan is periodically reviewed by the student and advisers, and revised as necessary. Most students will complete all requirements for the BS in sociology and complete some graduate level MPP requirements in the first four years, and take only MPP courses in year 5. However, the IUG is flexible enough to accommodate alternate scheduling and the completion of some undergraduate coursework during the fifth year.

DEGREE REQUIREMENTS

Students must fulfill all requirements for each degree in order to be awarded that degree, subject to the double-counting of credits as outlined below. Degree requirements for the B.S. in Sociology are listed in the Undergraduate Bulletin. Degree requirements for the M.P.P. degree are listed on the Degree Requirements tab. Up to 12 credits may be double-counted towards the degree requirements for both the graduate and undergraduate degrees; a minimum of 50% of the double-counted courses must be at the 500 or 800 level. Credits associated with the culminating experience for the graduate degree cannot be double-counted. The courses that are eligible to double count for both degrees are: SOC 400W, SOC 405, SOC 423, SOC 440, SOC 526, SOC 528, SOC 532, SOC 530.

Students must sequence their courses so all undergraduate degree requirements are fulfilled before taking courses to count towards the graduate degree. If students accepted into the IUG program are unable to complete the M.P.P. degree, they are still eligible to receive their undergraduate degree if all the undergraduate degree requirements have been satisfied.
